Tip: Highlighting Search Terms

This month, Fastcase will be posting daily tips to assist you in your research process. Comments? Suggestions? War stories about how you use Fastcase in your practice? We want to hear from you. Drop us a line at comments@fastcase.com. (If you have compliments to share, we’ll take those too!)

By default, Fastcase automatically highlights each instance of all of the search terms in your query. If you would prefer to view your case with only one of your search terms highlighted, select the relevant term from the Highlight menu at the upper left hand side of the screen.

Example:

If you search for busing AND desegregation every instance of the words busing and desegregation will be highlighted within each of your search results.

If you want to see your search results with the word busing to be highlighted but not the word, desegregation, then select busing from the menu next to the label “Highlight”.

You will find this option towards the top, left hand side of the screen when you are viewing the full text of the case.

Getting more help is easy. For support, call 1-866-773-2782 between the hours of 8 am and 8 pm Eastern, email support@fastcase.com, or use our Live Chat feature.
